    Sure; it has been used far less than 1.7.9p2 (in spite of my urgings in the
    1.8.0beta3 release message...), so it's likely to be somewhat less stable.

    It's probably pretty much the same.

    > But setting those aside, are there any important reasons to upgrade?

    Yes; I won't be responding to any bug reports in 1.7.9p2 any more...

    > Any compelling reasons not to upgrade?

    See above.

    Not while using a DB file written by 1.8.0.
